@GazDownright Resolves 'Yes', at least as I understand it

@snazzlePop I wish it was that straightforward! This has turned out to be a source of contention and subject to a lawsuit. As far as I understand, an Official Government Advisory Role is subject to the laws stipulated in the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Musk, on the other hand, holds a role as a Special Government Employee, a temporary position that isn't subject to the same scrutiny as an advisory role.

While there's a lawsuit claiming that DOGE is operating as a Federal Advisory Committee , I'm not sure how this applies to Musks role.

I'd like to hear your thoughts. Here is some background material.

Trump hired Musk as a 'special government employee.' Here's what that means

Special government employees, or SGEs, are typically hired on a temporary basis as experts or consultants or serve as members of federal advisory committees.
